As Holy As the Soil (That Buries Your Skin)

As holy as the soil that buries your skin As holy as the love we'll never give As holy as the time that drifted away I love you so, will you please come home? As holy as the Roman Empire As holy as the coffee you made for us As holy as those nights we walked in the rain I love you so, will you please come home? So come on Would it be that hard? Just for once We could save the world Just me and you Doing something true Even if it only lasts for seconds As lonely as the darkness between the stars As fragile as the people we are As sacred as those words we shared and displayed I love you so, will you please come home? As beautiful as the spring in Japan As generous as your safe, strong hands As wasted as the lifetimes we spent far apart I love you so, will you please come home? So come on Would it be that hard? Just for once We could save the world Just me and you Doing something true Even if it only lasts for seconds Oh, I love you so, won't you please come home? Oh, it's been so long, I can't let go Oh, I love you so, won't you please come home? I love you so, won't you please come home?
